Answer:
Helen Thayer raised the fund for her trip with her husband, Bill Thayer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since no organized group was going to fund Helen Thayer who was already fifty at the time on a journey to the Polar region alone, Helen Thayer had to raise the funds for her trip which amounted to about $10,000 with her husband.
Helen embarked on the solo trip with her dog, Charlie which could scare off polar bears. On March 30, 1988, Helen Thayer became the first woman to trek solo the North Pole.
